Mobile terminal and control method for playing multimedia thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to the multimedia field, in particular to a technology for improving the multimedia playing efficiency of a mobile terminal. The invention also provides the mobile terminal and a method thereof for controlling the multimedia playing. The method comprises the following steps: a multimedia playing control process of the mobile terminal receives playing request information transmitted by an application process; and the multimedia playing process corresponding to the application process with high priority level is preferably operated for multimedia playing according to the preset priority level of the application process. The multimedia playing control process is used for coordinate and manage the multimedia playing request of each application process, and the priority level of each application process decides which multimedia playing process corresponding to the application process is preferably operated, thereby avoiding the conflict generated while the application process simultaneously requires multimedia playing, improving the multimedia playing efficiency, and accelerating the response when a plurality of multimedia have playing requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of multimedia, in particular to a technology for improving the multimedia playing efficiency of a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] There are applications for realizing various tasks in the mobile terminal, such as text message editing applications, MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) playing applications, caller ID applications, alarm applications, text message prompt applications, game applications, and the like. [0003] Such as figure 1 The mobile terminal shown generates an interrupt according to received external signals (such as key information, or a call request, etc.), and the interrupt triggers the execution of the corresponding application process to execute the corresponding function. For example, after the user performs keyboard operation information, the mobile terminal generates an interruption of the game request, and the interruption triggers the running of the game application process; or when the...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The inventors of the present invention have found that when two or more interruptions (such as MP3 playback request interruption, call request interruption, alarm timing interruption, etc.) that all need to be played in the prior art arrive, the mobile terminal will simultaneously Running the application processes corresponding to each interrupt may cause these application processes to perform multimedia playback control at the same time, resulting in tension in system resources (including CPU resources, memory resources, and hardware device resources), and even resource occupation conflicts, making mobile terminals Slow to unresponsive

Even after these application processes communicate and coordinate by sending messages to each other, the order of execution is determined to avoid preempting system resources, and the communication and coordination process between application processes will take a long time, making mobile The response of the terminal is still relatively slow

[0007] Therefore, the efficiency of controlling multimedia playback by mobile terminals in the prior art is not ideal, and the response is slow when there are multiple multimedia playback requirements, resulting in poor user experience
